Wingers Lee Molyneux and Byron Moore are back from injury and suspension respectively, meaning only last season's leading marksman Mathias Pogba is ruled out of the game.

Like Rovers, Crewe failed to win either of their opening two League One games and Davis could alter things in search of three points.

He said: "Everyone is fit and okay now apart from Mathias, so that is good. Byron is back from his thigh injury and Lee has served his suspension so that gives us more option in wide areas.

"We have a strong squad and have players pushing for inclusion. It certainly makes the squad selection more difficult but that is what you want as a manager. We have a group of players who are all capable of playing in the team and that is the first time I've had that since I took over.

"It has been a good week and a hard week. The response from the defeat at the MK Dons has been really good. They have trained well and a lot of them have been doing extra work as well. That is nice to see and the players are determined to change the results we have been having."
